Hi Horse Pals ~
I had a fabulous jumping day today! We did a triple no stride line and Dandy did great.
Dandy was listening really well and we had fun also jumping a flower box and single diagonals.
The weather was perfect for riding and jumping, it was beautiful out with a nice cool breeze. It definitely felt like fall at the barn today.
And other exciting news ... Avery had her very first jumping lesson today on OB and she LOVED it! She was cantering around and around the arena at a great rhythm and then Lisa gave her a few jumping tips and she was off! Her tips were go straight to the middle of the jump, keep a good rhythm and hold the horse's mane over the jump. She jumped a flower cross rail over and over and did excellent for her first time! She can't wait to jump again!
I ended the day with a trail ride with my friend, Gretchen and her horse, Snoopy. Snoopy and Dandy looked so cute together because they both have great colors.
Happy trails,
@raya
Glad you had fun jumping. Please tell Avery that I said congratulations on jumping for the first time.

Hi Cl@ire ~
Avery says 'thanks very much'. It was so much fun to see her jump! She was so excited! Yep, the hardest thing is definitely the ground! hehe! Have fun riding on Tuesday and give Marci a hug from me.
Your horse pal,

HEY THERE!
I am so proud of Avery! She is going to be a great horsewoman someday! You look great, Avery!
Araya, Dandy and you look great going over that flower box! I hope you had a great time on your trail ride!
I am going to the barn on Tuesday and am going to ask if I can ride bareback. Just for a liitle while, we plan on doing the triple exe, flower box and panel jump. Who knows what else! Riding bareback is a ton of fun but, Marci and I haven't gotten to yet because we don't know what he'll do. But, hey! The hardest thing in riding is the ground, right? WEll I have to go!
LOVE, CLAIRE
